...The ANC has defended Youth League leader and prominent academic Julius Malema, saying his latest outburst in which he accused rival party COPE of being a Western puppet like Zimbabwe's opposition party, is not evidence that he is severely retarded but was instead inspired by his current favourite toy: a Wild West-themed puppet show.
http://www.hayibo.com/articles/view/958"Either he is severely retarded, or he is a paranoid racist seeking to perpetuate Africa's death-spiral of endlessly blaming invisible enemies in the West, or he has been misunderstood."
He said that the first option was "ludicrous", given the speed with which Malema read Archie comics during policy meetings and the ease with which he has picked up populist rabble-rousing rhetoric about scapegoats and violence.
